A Lack Of Knowledge For The Scripture
Text: John 20: 9 - 10
A LACK OF KNOWLEDGE OF THE SCRIPTURE
There was faith in the heart of John when he entered into the empty tomb of Jesus. But there was still a lack of full comprehension of the significance of the empty tomb.
“For as yet they did not know the Scripture, that He must rise again from the dead. Then the disciples went away again to their own homes.”

缺乏对圣经的认识
当约翰进入耶稣空荡的坟墓时，心中是含有信心的。不过他始终无法完全明白空荡的坟墓的意义。
“因为他们还不明白圣经的意思，就是耶稣必要从死里复活。 于是两个门徒回自己的住处去了。”
《约翰福音 20：9-10》
